Chapter 66: Gone
The two of them walked around the lotus pond for a long time. Finally, after the clouds gradually covered the light of the moon, they finally returned to the tent. They did not notice that after they left, a black shadow came out from behind a big tree. The sharp eyes stared at Xia Qiqi's black shadow and said silently. "My good sister, brother is here to pick you up."
The bonfire conference was still going on at this time, but it was coming to an end. Most people, because of their happy mood, drank a lot of fine wine. At this time, they had already fallen asleep with the sky as their quilt. There were only a few people. Although they were happy, they were extremely vigilant and drank a small amount of fine wine. They were still very clear in their minds and were about to chat and go back to rest.
The hunting competition will begin early tomorrow morning. Getting drunk at this time is indeed a not very clear choice. After all, many people are drunk, no matter how many people call, they can't wake up. If they miss the time of the hunting competition, it will be really not worth the effort.
It was precisely because Long Yuechen knew this that he specially prepared this bonfire party. In fact, this bonfire party is tantamount to a test. Although it is held every year, many people miss the best period of the hunting competition because of the bonfire party and finally miss the winner. However, no matter how many times such a party is held and how many people fail, there are still a large number of people who cannot withstand temptation every year. They are greedy for temporary enjoyment and ignore long-term interests, which is the most important thing. However, Long Yuechen naturally cannot be more important to these people.
What he needs is a group of people who can truly withstand temptation and test, rather than a group of people who only know how to drink and talk about it!
...
After parting with Fu Li, Xia Qiqi returned to her tent. As soon as she entered the tent, she saw a man sitting in a position facing the door with a gloomy face. She was startled and was stunned for a moment, not daring to walk in again.
Long Yuechen knew that Xia Qiqi had come in, but he had no intention of talking to her. He sat on the chair, looking at Xia Qiqi with cold eyes, and Xia Qiqi's eyes didn't dare to move.
The two of them had a stalemate for a long time. Finally, Xia Qiqi finally couldn't stand and asked respectfully.
"I don't know what happened to the emperor when he is so late?"
When she was very afraid of Long Yuechen, she usually called Long Yuechen the emperor.
"It's so late, where have you been?"
Xia Qiqi didn't expect Long Yuechen to ask her in reverse, and didn't know how to answer him for a moment. She remembered that just now, Fu Li and Fu Li were next to the pond, smelling the faint fragrance of lotus flowers, and the two were having a happy conversation. They knew that this kind of thing must not be told to Long Yuechen that Long Yuechen was just a jealous jar. As long as he was nominally his woman, he would be jealous. Tell him about this, and she was afraid that he would not be able to kill her directly by then!
"Don't you know?" Long Yuechen smiled. "Okay, let me tell you, you were chatting with the young master Li just now, laughing next to the lotus pond! What do you two lonely men and widows want to do together!"
Long Yuechen's last sound suddenly raised his voice very high. Xia Qiqi was shocked if he didn't pay attention.
He looked up at Long Yuechen's face and gritted his teeth secretly, knowing that the man was angry now and she didn't dare to speak. However, she had always had a doubt in her heart. How did he know that he was following her just now?
Before Xia Qiqi could think clearly about the matter, Long Yuechen spoke again.
"How many times have I told you! You are my woman no matter what. Without my orders, you are not allowed to contact any other man! How did you abide by my orders! Today I am alone and widowed, and tomorrow are you going to climb onto his bed!"
"Long Yuechen, what are you talking about!"
When Long Yuechen said the last sentence, Xia Qiqi also became angry.
"You think I am you, three wives and four concubines, and there are many wives and concubines! The women in your harem can't count them. You can collect as much as you come. Don't think I don't know! When I haven't seen you, you are talking about love with your beauties! What are you talking about here? I, Xia Lisheng, is not so cheap yet! I, Xia Lisheng, have not been as casual as you! Fu Li and I are always getting along with each other as confidants from beginning to end, and you are not qualified to insult our relationship!"
Xia Qiqi was also anxious and tears came out.
She never thought that Long Yuechen would think of the relationship between her and Fu Li like this.
Until now, she still remembers that when she and Fu Li first met, their clothes and pants were wet, and they were carrying a fishing wooden barrel in their hands. They didn't even have time to put down their trousers' legs, and their face was dirty. At that time, Fu Li was like a piece of natural jade, a proud snow lotus. He was clean and pure, but he did not dislike him. Instead, he took the initiative to invite her to his yard, invited her to eat so many delicious foods, and even played her favorite songs. With these alone, Long Yuechen was not qualified to compare with Fu Li, and he was even less qualified to talk about her relationship with Fu Li.
Fu Li is different from him. Fu Li is pure and holy. She is the most elegant person she has lived for two lives and has seen. She will never allow anyone to have Wu Rui and Fu Li's relationship, even if Long Yuechen is the emperor!
"You guys want to be called a confidant?"
Long Yuechen sneered. He really had the urge to pry open his head and see what was thinking in her head.
The man's intuition told him that Fu Li and Xia Lisheng's feelings were not ordinary, but from Fu Li's eyes every time he looked at Xia Lisheng, he could also see that although Fu Li was very calm and plain, and didn't care about anything, when he saw Xia Lisheng, the dullness in his eyes turned into heat in an instant, which was a kind of sight that a man treated women!
Fu Li's gaze was so obvious that he couldn't see it. I'm afraid that only this silly woman would think that the relationship between her and Fu Li was just a confidant!
"Yes, what's wrong? Do you think I'm like you! How can a person like you who has been flying in his life and has a strong harem understand the pure friendship between men and women!"
She continued to say these words without fear in the afternoon. In fact, she had been holding them in her heart for a long time and wanted to vent her pleasure. She just took this opportunity to say that Long Yuechen was scolded. Anyway, Long Yuechen also liked to get angry at herself for no reason. No matter what she did, he had an objection, so just do something she liked!
"Xia Lisheng, I really want to pry your head open and see what is inside?"
After Long Yuechen finished speaking, he left angrily.
No one knew that although he was sitting in a high position and had been talking to those people, his eyes were always looking at Xia Qiqi. When he found that she was taken away by Fu Li, he felt a little uncomfortable and called Wei Heng to follow him. Later, Wei Heng told him that Xia Lisheng and Fu Li had been walking alone next to the lotus pond for a long time, and he finally couldn't help it. He was his woman, how could he tolerate other men touching him!
Until now, Long Yuechen still treats Xia Qiqi as his nominal woman, but he doesn't know that even when he sees the queen and other men, he has never been so angry. Everything is just deceiving himself.
Xia Qiqi stood there stupidly, looking at Long Yuechen's back as he was away, and inexplicably more bitter and aggrieved in his heart, pointing at Long Yuechen's back, which had not completely disappeared with one hand, and shouted loudly, "Long Yuechen! You are a promiscuous! I, Xia Lisheng, have worked hard to run outside the palace to pick peach blossoms for you! I will never do such a stupid thing again! A person like you! It's not worth it at all!"
After saying that, he returned to the bed angrily, without taking off his shoes, and lay down.
Although Long Yuechen had already walked a long way, he kept paying attention to Xia Qiqi in his heart. When he heard her say that she had just picked peach blossoms for him when she saw a ghost, his body unconsciously stiffened, his hands hanging on both sides tightly clenched and let go, and finally, he accelerated his pace and left.
The two of them parted in disagreement and returned to their respective tents, and no one fell asleep.
... Until midnight, Xia Qiqi was really upset, so she lifted the quilt, got up, and walked out of the tent quietly. At this time, it was already very late, and even the guards who were watching the night could not help but fall asleep.
The night wind blew on his body, and Xia Qiqi felt a little cold. He closed his clothes and remembered the quarrel with Long Yuechen at night. He felt more and more irritable and hurriedly wanted to walk to the lotus pond.
...
The next morning, as soon as the sky was dawn, I heard the sound of gongs ringing. This was a hunting competition. The gongs ringing every morning were to scream all the people so as not to waste time.
After hearing the sound, everyone quickly packed up their clothes and walked out. Of course, there were also some drunk people who were drunk at the bonfire party last night. No matter how loud the gong was, they were not woken up. This was unexpected that he missed an opportunity to show himself in front of the emperor.
As the sound of ringing the gong sounded, Long Lingyue and the others also got up. Because Long Yuechen knew Long Lingyue's thoughts about Fu Li, he set up Long Lingyue's tent very far away from Li Fu Li. Because of Fu Li and Xia Qiqi, he set up their tents very far away from him.
As for him and Xia Qiqi, because the relationship between them was not happy during this period, they were far apart.
When the three of them gathered together, they found that Xia Qiqi was gone.
"Brother Qi, why didn't you see my Qi's sister-in-law?"
Long Lingyue was always being pestered by a group of men last night, so she didn't know what happened to Xia Qiqi and the others. After she asked this question, Fu Li also looked at Long Yuechen worriedly.
They have been waiting here for a long time. Xia Qiqi is not a procrastinator, and it is impossible that she has not come yet.
"I'm not responsible for helping you take care of her!" In other words, he didn't know.
"Why haven't the master come yet?" Long Lingyue muttered in her heart.
"Why don't I go find her!"
As she said that, she was about to walk away.
"Eat first!"
Long Yuechen's tone was unstoppable, and he left directly after saying that. Seeing this, Long Lingyue felt a little worried and wondered. He wanted to run to Fu Li's side and ask, but found that Fu Li didn't know when he left.
